My Experience

I’ve been playing music since I was seven years old and making movies on my mom’s camcorder from when I was 12. In high school, I took a photography class. My photo teacher seemed to like my work so much that he helped me complete my final assignment although I was technically suspended from school. I’ve also spent tons of time writing journals, blog posts, songs and poems.

I’ve done my best to be consistent in most of the creative areas that I practice. Given that I’ve started these arts so long ago, there’s a lot of information to share! I plan to deliver this wealth of knowledge in my trademark infotainment style. That means I emphasize humor and the overall experience of learning.

First, the Agony You don’t realize how much you’re missing out

Easy Synth Programming – Detune There’s nothing worse than opening up a synth, hitting a key and being greeted by the most boring and annoying sound in the history of man: the unfiltered saw wave. Luckily for you, it’s actually pretty easy to take that simple buzz and transform it into a swirling, or pulsing, or even wobbling masterpiece. All you need to do is click your heels and

Easy Synth Programming – Amp Decay-Sustain All’s well that ends well – but not so fast! We all know the star athlete back in high school, right? That jock had his peak but did he suddenly just die off into fat middle-aged oblivion? No he didn’t! He instead faded a bit and then hung out in a middle management position while his midsection remained at a healthy girth. Synths

Easy Synth Programming – Echo Hello? Hello? Hello? Is there anybody IN there? Remember Pink Floyd? That sound, as you know, is called an echo. Technically, it’s called a delay. It’s called a delay due to the mechanical way it’s produced in audio. If you go to the grand canyon, it’s an echo. Two different things. Today, we’re going to explore echo-slash-delay and how it can turn your flat

Easy Synth Programming – Filter Envelope Pt 1 You want to have interesting sounds. Ones that go ‘wwerrr’ and ‘psheww’ but yours just sit there and go ‘duhhhhh’.
